Mount Shasta Region

The northeastern corner of the state – the area surrounding Mt. Shasta – is sometimes called the “Golden Triangle” by anglers because of its many fish-filled watersheds, including the McCloud, Upper Sacramento, Fall, Pit, Klamath Rivers and Hat Creek.

The Mount Shasta region is home popular rivers and smaller, more intimate streams.

Most of the area’s rivers are spring-fed, and therefore, cold water refugia for fish populations.

Migration barriers (dams), habitat degradation, sedimentation, water quality, and lack of information about ground water threaten the pristine waters of the Mount Shasta region.
